Based on their site, I'm not sure if the battery is the right one...

Want to be sure of it before I make the trek out...

Find the battery code on the existing one... or call canadian tire...

then go to Costco and see if they carry the appropriate size.

I decided to go to the dealer but here's an update for the A3 owners out there

It seems a lot of people are having their batteries die at around 50,000 km or 30,0000 miles. Mine lasted 70,000 km but kicked the bucket recently.

Here is a thread on <a href="http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4110255&page=1">Fourtitude/VWVortex</a> about it.

I'm going to the dealer to get it today, they are selling two kinds each for $135.
